I'd smile.

Pow wowing with a couple of buddies via text. Wife isn't thrilled with the idea.

We have decided to see what happens to prices by morning. If I can get in for $500 or less...after fees...I'm in. Probably unlikely.

You'd definitely get them for that from a scalper, there's just the whole counterfeit thing to worry about.

You or friends in Progressive watching on video board? Said only a $5 donation, looks like a lot of people and cool when Fox cuts to it.

I could get you tickets in the lower level for under $750. There's no way my Cubs-diehard friend is going to game 5.

We are far from out of the woods here.

Lester on full rest vs Bauer on short and Arrieta on full vs Tomlin on short.

I haven't looked up to verify but I doubt either of them have ever pitched on 3 days rest so who knows what to expect.

Agreed, this thing could VERY easily go 7 based on those matchups.

Bauer on short rest might just be better than him in normal rest lol

I'd be more inclined to pitch Merritt tonight instead of Bauer on short rest who looked terrible in his last outing.

Yeah, I remember 2007 and we had a 3 to 1 lead over Boston in the ALCS....That lead evaporated pretty quickly.

Yeah, it ain't over. Crazy enough but every game remaining is a must win for both teams.

3-1 lead with our CY award winner on the bump at home. Sickening.

At least we have our CY award winner for the last game of this series...if necessary.
